Jenny is the Lucky In Love 2 Bachelorette Party winner! Before Jenny weds Chad on June 16, 2012 at Sunrise Church, she will enjoy a complimentary night out with friends pre-celebrating her special day in class and style.

How did she win? Bridal Extravaganza of Atlanta hosts two outstanding bridal shows a year, one in January and one in August. Their shows involve hundreds of vendors, showcasing their work. This isn’t an overwhelming trade show, it is a showcase of multiple reliable and respectable vendors; great for a bride that wants to learn more about their services hands-on while having lots of fun! This past January, Bridal Extravaganza hosted their first “Lucky In Love” dice roll giveaway in the Lucky Lounge, but sadly no one won. Because the vendors and Bridal Extravaganza want someone to win they partnered with 6 vendors that offer not just a service, but an experience, to give away a full Bachelorette Party! Each Bridal Extravaganza attendee had a chance to enter their information for this amazing, fun-filled night!

Below is exactly what Jenny won in the Bachelorette Party Giveaway:

One of my favorite mnemonic devices from elementary school that I vividly remember was Roy G. Biv. For all my 4th grade science daydreamers out there, Roy G. Biv is an acronym that stands for the visible part of the electromagnetic light spectrum. In lamen terms, it’s the order of colors that appear in the rainbow! Red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet!! Just as mnemonic devices are a tool for teachers who want to help their student’s remember important facts, Preston Bailey’s The Color Palette Picker is an excellent tool for brides who need help picking out their color scheme!

I stumbled across The Color Palette Picker while checking out PrestonBailey.com and had to share this amazing tool with all of you! Whether you’re trying to figure out colors for your special day or are in the midst of planning some other type of event, this easy to use tool is a great way to help you visualize your event’s color scheme!

Start by selecting a color from his palette that sparks your imagination:

Then answer a few short questions about your event.

Then add in the Preston factor!

Presto! Your done!! Now it’s time to check out your color palette! I hope you find this as helpful as I did!!!

Gowns, Themes, Venues…Oh My!! With so many options and so little time, how do you go about planning the perfect 2012 wedding? Just think- dreamy, sentimental, love. With the New Year just shy of a month away, here are a few things to keep in mind when planning your special day:

1.) Illusion Necklines: For the perfect balance of sexy & sophisticated, try an Illusion Neckline for 2012. An illusion neckline combines a skin-baring bodice with a sheer fabric overlay extending from the bust to the collar. Check out this gorgeous Carolina Herrera piece below.

2.) Full Scale Themes: One of the main wedding trends for 2012 is going with a full-scale theme!! Don’t just pick one theme for one aspect of your wedding! A full scale theme is carried throughout the invites, save the dates, flowers, centerpieces and even the food and desserts. Think Vintage, Rustic and Natural! But more importantly, be sure it reflects YOU!

3.) Outdoor Venues: Outdoor weddings have been becoming increasingly more popular throughout the last couple of years and looks to continue into 2012. An outdoor venue not only provides a beautiful natural ambiance, but also requires very little additional decor. Think beaches, mansions, country clubs, family farms, and museums! Check out the photo below! This was taken at the beautiful Rose Garden, which is located at Atlanta Botanical Gardens near Piedmont Park in Atlanta.

4.) Dessert Tables: Did you know that stressed spelled backwards is desserts?!! Coincidence? I think not…why go with one option when you can have a whole table full? Instead of the traditional Wedding Cake & Groom’s Cake, Dessert Tables are a great way to incorporate both the brides & grooms favorite treats.

5.) Good Night Stations: Aside from the ice-cream and birthday cake, everyone knows that the next best thing about attending a birthday party as a kid were the fabulous goodie bags!! So why not continue that trend as an adult and see that your guests have a little something to take home with them! The goodnight station is set to take the wedding world by storm in 2012. A goodnight station is a table full of additional goodies to see guests off at the end of the night. Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are credited to have started this trend back in 2002 by providing Krispy Kreme donuts for their guests as they departed from the reception. Yum!

6.) Faux Flower Decor: Think outside the vase. Don’t be afraid to think outside the box when creating your flowers and decorations. Why not try feathers for a fun, flirty, flower-alternative to traditional wedding bouquets?!! Fabric, tissue and paper can also be used as creative alternatives.

7.) Personalized DIY Decor: Although DIY is not necessarily a new trend, it continues to stay strong as Brides find creative ways to showcase their personality and save some cash. DIY, or do-it-yourself, wedding reception centerpieces and decorations typically reflect you, your fiance and your wedding theme more than anything a florist could put together for you, and you’ll do it for a fraction of the cost. Nature-inspired accents are just one of the many hot bridal trends for 2012.
